NO ONE SHOULD BE DENIED CARE. U.S. REP. JENNIFER WEXTON.

In America, being treated for a medical condition or trying to purchase the
prescription you need shouldn’t be subject to a religious test. But the Trump
administration believes differently.

They just finalized a rule allowing healthcare professionals to deny
care to patients if it violates their religious beliefs. This
is an open invitation for discrimination against LGBTQ Americans, and it
means women could be denied reproductive care.

I was elected to protect access
to healthcare and support equality, and I promise to do everything in my
power to fight misguided executive actions like this one. No American should
be denied the care they need, full stop.
